HT5361 I cant move the "on my mac" mails to the "on icloud" directories ... any idea ?

Hi,
Im trying to get some space on my HD, cleaning some old work mails exporting them into a external HD and transferring some other to icloud. The questin is it seems impossible to move from "my mac" to "icloud" , because i choose "move", the list becomes clean , but then they return ...
The same happen if i try to "archive" on icloud ...
any idea on how to do it ?
thx

Don't move, copy, then (when the copy is complete) delete the originals.
Depending on the amount of email, and your internet connection speed this can take a long while, you must leave mail running and you must be connected to the internet or the copy will fail.
Please note that moving emails from On My Mac to iCloud will not free up any space, Mail caches all iCloud email locally, so you can see it when not connected to the internet.

  • Cant drag and drop in Mac mail

    So in Mac Mail, I used to be able to drag an email address from the to: line to the cc: line.  I can no longer do this.  Also, I can no longer drag an attachment from the body of an email to the desktop.  I can drag from the desktop to an email but not the other way.  Any ideas?

  • Copying files to my MBA Early 2011, 10.6.7 changes their 'date modified' to the current date. It happens only to some of the files copied. Any idea what my be causing it. Never had this problem before, on othe macs I have owned.

    Copying files to my new MBA (early 2011) running 10.6.7 results in their 'modification date' to change to the current date. Any idea what may be causing it. It happens only to some of the files (there is no pattern to it.). I have not seen it previously in many other macs I have owned.

    Hi all
    I am bumping this thread again because I can't believe that I am the only one experiencing this issue. At times it is costing me hours repeatedly copying files until eventually the date doesn't show as modified.
    I thought I had cracked it earlier by changing the Sharing & Permissions settings, and applying to enclosed items the ability for Everyone, Me and Staff fo have Read & Write permissions - but that doesn't seemed to have changed much.
    Copying in smaller batches helps sometimes, but then other times it makes no odds, and the Date Modified date shows as the original date for a few seconds, only to change to today's date. Driving me nuts because there is no pattern to it.
    Files which I have copied and show their original modified date, when moved to a subfolder, then have their date changed to today!!! Copying other files into the folder results in files that were previously OK having their Date Modified changed!
    Am I on the only one?

  • I have Keynote 6.2 and when my Mac Pro is hooked to a projector I cannot get the presenter notes to show on the computer screen and not on the projected screen. Any ideas?

    I have Keynote 6.2 and when my MacPro is hooked to a projector with a slide presentation I cannot see my presentation notes on the computer screen and not on the projected screen. Any ideas?

    Somethings obviously gone wrong with your installation of Keynote.
    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1  delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2  empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3  Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then hold down the Shift key while pressing the power button
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in.
    4   Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    5  when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    6  when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    7  install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)

    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

  • My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it

    My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it?

    I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring.  During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected.  Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day.  Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected.  It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should.  If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected.  With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month.  The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again.  It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

    Hi k:
    That file is in your home folder ~(symbol for home)>library>preferences.
    A preference file may (rare, but it happens) become corrupted. OS X rebuilds them as needed. You will need to enter any personal preferences that differ from the default settings.

  • Time capsule won't back up - Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder. Any ideas?

    I have tried all the resets, the firmware is the latest version, the green light is on.
    But I get this message "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder."
    Any ideas?

    Do setup again.. but make sure both your wireless and your ethernet have ipv6 turned on to local link.
    Done this OK, but no idea about IPv6 - something new to me and rather Appley I think?
    Unplug the WAN for the moment.. Just LAN port TC to the MBPr ethernet via thunderbolt.. (thunderbird was the kids puppet series.. Thunderbirds are go!!). Done - New real people Thunderbirds movie coming out soon I believe!!!
    Reset the TC again.. sorry.. !! You're welcome ... done.
    Make sure the ethernet now has an IP address.. 10.0.1.2 - Yep - done that - on ethernet anyway ...
    You need to open the network preferences to find out. Yep - that's good ...
    ****** I then reconnect the TC WAN to the router - is this right?
    And then I think I start going round in circles ... boot, reboot, restart, reboot again ...
    The final result is green light on TC, but error message when trying TM is "Backup disk is not available".
    Then open the airport utility and you should be able to setup the TC.
    Do as little setup as possible and then run the TM backup and see how it goes.
    I have managed to get Thunderbird to LAN on TC to create a folder on TC and copy a file onto it.
    So I guess the drive is working - it must be the software, settings or perhaps even the operator that isn't quite so clever ...
    I named network RFG, named device RFGTC.  RFG network shown as IP 192.168.0.72
    Wireless router is BT Homehub 3 with IP of 192.168.0.254 - is this issuing new IP addresses when rebooting TC?
    I have three wireless networks here - the BT Homehub3 wireless, the TC wireless, and also a D-link power socket ethernet thingy for an ethernet connection to the telly - DHP-W310AV which is also wireless link.  All are effectively connected to the BT Homehub - is there a conflict there?
    Have several times achieved in Airport Utility schematic with internet shown as green, RFGTC shown as green, light on TC green, but no TM backup run ... "backup disc not available."
    And there are no tall building around here to hurl myself off ... at least you can go to Sydney Harbour bridge - not too far away ... it was my son in Sydney that persuaded me to scrap Windows and go Apple ... it's all his fault ...
